Chapter Seventy-Three: Brainless Taylor
Haugist didn't blame Nogueira and drove the ball out as Hoggist continued to dribble calmly across the half-court, motioning for everyone to pull away and watch him perform. Anderson and Sabonis said they wouldn't be fooled again, and they didn't follow up on the inside. Nogueira and Desmond were unmarked on the flanks, and the two stood in a row. LaVine and Hollis Jefferson did the same, but this time it was LaVine who covered Hollis Jefferson's bottom line.
The Twin Towers have played once, and this time not only Anderson and Sabonis, but even Ullis and Whitehead have shrunk back to the interior to help defend, and Hollis Jefferson has no chance to open up at all.
But Hollis Jefferson's purpose was not to catch in the air, he slipped to the basket, so that the Twin Towers as a whole contracted the inside, Hollis Jefferson suddenly ran from under the basket to the weak wing, passing between Nogueira and Desmond in the elbow area, and after Hollis Jefferson ran over, Nogueira and Desmond instantly stood side by side, forming a double cover, and "locked" all the players of the Twin Towers on the inside.
Hollis Jefferson had already No_looking_pass pass the ball to the weak wing when he ran past the cover, Hollis Jefferson got to the ball, received the ball and jumped directly for three points, no one in front of him defended, the basket was a sea of oceans, the ball hit easily, and the GDP team scored three points.
"What kind of tactic is this? Do you take a free kick against a wall? "Budenholzer thinks it's been a real eye-opener today, and there are so many new things coming out one after another!
"This tactic is also very thoughtful! We can also learn from it in NBA games in the future! "Coach Faucier feels more and more that Hoogist is a tactical genius!
Ullis dribbled past half court, still intending to continue by himself, and the mid-range shot that stopped and retreated was fanned away by LaVine's hat, and the ball flew to the outside and was picked up by Booker to reorganize the offense.
Hollis Jefferson confronted Booker and asked in a mocking tone, "Is that little guy on your team a bad brain?" Obviously height doesn't have an advantage, why do you have to fight yourself? Who does he think he is? Boggs? Weber? Nate. Robinson? ”
"No, he thought he was Jordan!" Booker has also always disliked Ulys, Taylor. Ullis is too proud and arrogant, maybe he can dominate the high school basketball world in San Antonio with his skills, so he has long sat in the well and watched the sky, and has the illusion that he is the god of basketball, but in the eyes of the American elite such as Hougie Straven Booker, this bit of strength is really unmatched, so his illusion has become an irrefutable proof of his arrogance.
Booker continued to hoist the ball to Sabonis, and this time Desmond started to resist Sabonis, who was still far from the basket, and since the strength was not good, then shake him off with his feet! Sabonis made up his mind, leaned on Desmond with the ball, took a big step to the right with his right foot, and pretended to turn around and jump shot in front of his right foot, this feint easily deceived Desmond's center of gravity.
At this time, Sabonis's left foot did not move after receiving the ball, and after the right foot moved, it automatically became the center foot, Sabonis turned around Desmond with his left foot as the axis, and took a big step forward with his right foot before landing, jumped to the basket with his right foot, and licked the basket with his low hand to score.
"This inside line still can't stand it! Do you want to start helping defense? Hollis Jefferson whispered to Hougist with his hand.
"No, let's look at it again, you give Booker an arch over there, let him attack a few by himself, I was surprised that he played so reasonably, it should be Coach Budenholzer who told him to meet his ears! I'm going to see how long he can endure it. "Hougist also wants Desmond and Nogueira to top it again.
Hogist dribbled past half court, no longer choosing to let everyone pull away, and directly called for a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, trying to get Desmond and Nogueira more involved on the offensive end first.
Desmond mentioned the online blocking, the quality of this cover is okay, Hougist used the cover to kill the inside three-step layup, Anderson came up to make up for Hougist, Anderson has good defensive habits, and jumped with his arms high in the reasonable collision area, blocking Hoggist's shooting route. Horgist wasn't actually going to make a layup, he got the ball out of Anderson's armpit in the air to Nogueira, who scored with ease.
Booker rushed over to collect the ball and stood on the baseline to tee off. Ignoring Ullis's request, Booker drove the ball to Whitehead. Whitehead dribbled the ball past half court and then returned the ball to Booker.
Hollis Jefferson was keenly aware of this and said to Booker: "You four are so high-level, how can you play under this half-player?" ”
"I don't seem to hear clearly, you say we're going to give him a hand?" Booker glanced at Ulys, "He deserves it too?" ”
"Yo? Bad ears? Kidney deficiency? Hollis Jefferson sneered: "You play according to tactics when you take the ball, the ball is passed to the inside, that Ullis takes the ball and does it alone, he can play how he wants, who has a high status and who is the boss is self-evident!" ”
"He's not a high-ranking person with unlimited right to fire, he's beating blindly!" Booker chatted very irritably, and suddenly started to dribble and force the inside, but how could Hollis Jefferson allow him to break through easily? He slid and defended without losing position, and Booker could only make a pull-up jumper. Hollis Jefferson's center of gravity was not messy, Booker stopped abruptly and he braked the car, followed by jumping up to interfere with Booker's shooting.
Booker couldn't hit a shot with Hollis Jefferson's interference and bounced far away, and Hoggist grabbed the rebound and quickly counterattacked. Ullis was in a bad mood because he didn't get the ball before, so he retreated as soon as possible, he and Hougist were one left and one right, one only had the basket in his eyes, and the other was thinking about how to stop the fast break, racing against time to fight for speed.
Ullys rushed back to the paint area first, and was about to turn sideways to interfere with Haugist's attack, but when Hougist stepped into the paint area, he was already preparing to attack the basket, and Ullis only felt a dark shadow covering the sky, and then he was knocked out of the air.
It was Hoggist who spotted that Ullis was not in a good defensive position, and went straight to the paint to make a layup, and after colliding with Ullis, he threw the ball to the rebound and scored a cricket. Since Ullis didn't turn around early to defend head-on, baseline referee Split blew for a blocking foul.
Hougist landed on the ground and moved his ankle joint, feeling that there was nothing unusual about his body, and Ullis, who was hit by him, was not so lucky, this collision gave him the illusion that he had been in a car accident, and he lay on the ground for a long time before he got up.
"It seems that you deserted and slept when Hougist was singled out with the rookie that day, right?" Booker sneered from the side, "Or do you think you're physically better and have a stronger core than a 6-foot-7 NBA rookie?" ”
Coach Budenholzer also saw that the four heavenly pride on the field did not deal with Ulys, but Ullis did occupy a starting position by virtue of his ability to be at the top of the standings, and it was impossible to throw him on the bench for no reason, and the strongest in the "Twin Towers" group in addition to these four belonged to Ulis.
Originally, the height of the five of them was just right to make a set of starters, but who would have thought that this Ullis had the smallest ability but the biggest temper, and even a player like Booker could obediently pass the ball to the inside, but this Ullis didn't know whether he ate the bear's heart and leopard gall or ate the scales, so he had to take the ball himself. has been humiliated twice by Raven and still doesn't repent, and he still wants to fight back. Although this foul is for defense, let's replace him first to emphasize the importance of unity and discipline. Coach Budenholzer thought.
Haugist easily converted the ball and coach Budenholzer called a timeout. Replaced Ulys, replaced a defensive player. Budenholzer is not specifically in charge of training camp affairs and does not know everyone's personality traits, but defensive players do not possess the ball and will definitely not clash with those four young masters, so it is the most reasonable decision to switch to a defensive player.
Ullis walked off the pitch and did not give his teammates and coach a high-five, and his teammates handed him a towel and he fell to the floor in anger. "Damn, look at the Hoggist on the other side, I want to pull away from my singles teammates and cooperate more, and they all consciously retreat to the weak side, and then look at these few on our side, one by one they are so arrogant and rude, they don't know how to take the initiative to dodge when they see me holding the ball, how did I get such a bunch of stupid X teammates!"
The substitute players off the field looked embarrassed, and Ullis was still living in the dream of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world", and he refused to open his eyes to see, but they were not blind, and anyone with a bright eye could see who was strong and who was weak on the field. Although this Ullis is only 5 feet 10 inches, he has trained hard and played hard, and he dominated the San Antonio high school basketball world for three years in high school. However, in the past three years, he has become more and more arrogant, and his temper has become worse and worse is also a fact for all to see, and this year there are already many people who are disgusted with his attitude of being a person and doing things, including some of his teammates. Today, many people are stealing fun on the field.
Budenholzer had wanted to give him a good guide on Ullis, but he stopped when he heard his complaints. What potential stocks are the scouting departments looking for this year? That opportunistic Hougist. Hurley is enough to make me angry, how can there be a "brainless + unhappy" megalomaniac here!
Whitehead dribbled past half court and distributed the ball to Booker again, Booker motioned to Sabonis to come out to block and dismantle, Hollis Jefferson knew that the opponent's tactic was to play inside, so he chose to block and dismantle around the back, but Booker improvised and saw Sabonis block Hollis-Jefferson behind him, and made a decisive three-point shot.
"Hey, so you dare to do it yourself! I thought you'd listen to the coach and obediently pass the ball inside! Hollis Jefferson was not annoyed by letting Booker go of the three-pointer, but continued to stir up Booker's emotions with words.
"Don't be funny, I'm the commander on the field, and of course I have the right to make any decisions on the field!" Booker spread his hands and ran back with a smug smile.
"Why do I look familiar with your action? Is it a deliberate imitation of Hogist? "Hollis Jefferson does not miss a single opportunity to provoke.
The smile on Booker's face froze, and the last thing he wanted to hear was to compare him to Hoggist.
Hollis Jefferson saw that his words had an effect, and he stopped provoking. Hoggist had discussed the art of trash talk with him, and the new theory proposed by Hoggist was that this kind of simmering provocation was the deadliest, arching the opponent to the brink of a seizure every time, and repeating it a few times would definitely make the opponent completely explode, hysterical, and completely out of control. It's much worse than messing them off all at once.
Hollis Jefferson has already laid the groundwork and laid the groundwork, so naturally he will not be with Booker for the time being. Booker wanted to retort against Hollis Jefferson, but Hoggist had already dribbled to the Twin Towers basket. Booker hurriedly put down his verbal entanglement with Hollis Jefferson and chased back.
Thankfully, Sabonis is back to the basket and Whitehead is on the wing. Hoggist was not stage frightened with one against two, and directly used a large European step to pass Whitehead cleanly, and jumped up close to Sabonis to turn and pull the rod for a layup. Hougist jumped in the air and turned to lean his back on Sabonis, pulling the ball back to his chest with his right hand and handing it to his left hand to wipe the board for a layup.
Sabonis tried to block Haugist's layup through his body, but he couldn't reach it, and his fingertips hit Haugist's left wrist.
"2+1......" Haugist was deflated halfway through the shout, and the ball did not go up under the interference of Sabonis's wrist, but stuck in the neck of the basket.
The bottom line referee Split decisively blew the foul on the beater, and Hougist scratched his head and said to himself: "It shouldn't be, I expected this foul, and I added force to my hand, why is it still too strong?" ”
Both free throws were hit, the Twin Towers attacked again, Booker chose to block and cooperate with Anderson this time, Hollis Jefferson still chose to defend around the back, Booker wanted to continue shooting, but Nogueira was pushed from behind by Hollis Jefferson, Nogueira staggered to Booker, and Nogueira stood there with long arms It was enough to cut off Booker's chance to shoot. Booker hit the ball to Anderson, and Anderson still had an advantage in single-handedly playing Hollis Jefferson, who was one size smaller than him, easily topped the basket and turned around to find the board, but the ball was interfered with by Hollis-Jefferson's hitter and did not make the shot.
This side of the baseline referee Danny. Green blew for a foul on Hollis-Jefferson, Anderson stepped to the free-throw line, and Booker and Hollis Jefferson stood on either side ready to grab the rebound.
Booker felt he finally had a chance to fight back, and he said to Hollis Jefferson: "Aren't you a defensive giant? Claimed to be more powerful than Hogist, how can he continue to give big gifts on the defensive end? ”
